    This project proposes the development of a waterfront commercial site located off Merritt's Millpond with convenient access from U.S. Highway 90. The site will capitalize on its scenic setting by incorporating a restaurant and an elevated lookout lounge, both designed to provide expansive views of the millpond and surrounding landscape.

    The development includes a parking facility to support anticipated traffic, along with a comprehensive stormwater management system. This system will consist of a retention pond and an integrated drainage network designed to manage runoff in accordance with local and environmental regulations. Supporting infrastructure will include the design and installation of water, sewer, gas, and electrical utilities to service all proposed facilities.

    Additionally, the project features a boardwalk extending from the restaurant to a floating dock with boat slips, enhancing public access to the water and creating a seamless connection between the built environment and the natural waterfront. Overall, the project aims to deliver a functional, aesthetically appealing, and environmentally responsible development that maximizes the unique characteristics of the site.
